I was reading about great Ford and Schwab in a book at the subject of Selling. And the writer has written something different about these great businessmen which reminds me the Dale’s famous book, “How to Win Friends and Influence People”.

Let me quote the writer’s exact words about Ford and Schwab’ business success.

Ford and Schwab
Why has Henry Ford won so unique a place in the personal regard of the everyday man? Ford is one of the richest men in the world; yet he is not hated. What is the reason for his general popularity? He is not an idler. He has celebrated each success by taking on another job. And he always has given a hand-up to the other fellow instead of kicking him down so that he might climb higher because of his failure.

He has understood and sympathized with the hopes and viewpoint of people who work. As a result countless men and women, most of whom never have seen him, think of Henry Ford as their friend. His finest success is not signified by the millions of money he has accumulated, but by the millions of friendships he enjoys.

Charles M. Schwab, too, is popular. He is a man whom people like. Because he was so successful in winning friends, rather than for his generally recognized business ability, he was made the head of the Governmentâ€™s ship-building program in the war. Other men were eager to work with and for Charles M. Schwab.

The co-operation of thousands of friendships, new and old, more than anything else enabled him to succeed in his big, patriotic job. How much more he has to celebrate in his wealth of good will than in his great fortune of dollars! Schwab has been called the most successful salesman in the world, which is another way of saying that he has no equal in ability to make other people both trust and like him.

After reading the above quote if you agree with the above quoted text of the writer, and if you want to really know How to employ this secret in your own business success, i suggest you to read Dale Carnige’s book called, “How to Win Friends and Influence People”. After reading it reRead it please 🙂 This is not a penny less that other College business books.

Wish you more friends and more success in salesmanhsip and own business.

To build a website and create flow of loads of traffic to that website needs a comprehensive approach. There is a simple strategy, which I want to share with you today. You can say it a common sense Internet Marketing Strategy or Website Traffic Generation Strategy.

It looks common sense and obvious to a pro webmaster, but for a starter this game(build a site and get traffic to it) really looks very confusing and frustrating. As there are so many things to do in this regard. But they found no order in that ToDo list. I mean From Where to Start, is big puzzle for them. What to do now, and what to do after what! Here is solution:

Simple Internet Marketing Strategy to Generate Web Traffic:

Step 1-List Of Targeted Keywords and Phrases:

First of all, before even thinking to promote your website, you need this list. A list of your main keywords, and targeted, related keywords and phrases list.

To compile your targeted and related keywords list, you can use one of the below two tools.

Well if you can afford i Recommend you WordTracker as it do not only show the demand per keywords but also competition. So after comprehensive analysis of Demand and Supply you can join that niche. It is up to you now, either use OverTure or WordTracker. The objective is compile the list of keywords you want to target.

It will also be great if you paste this list in a spreadsheet and make another column there of SUPPLY. And against every keyword’s search count (demand) cell, there must be a figure of competition (supply).

If you are using Overture, then you have to do in manually and by searching Google or other Search Engine, to find that how many sites are competing for that keyword or phrase.

It is very easy if you are using WordTracker as this service provide demand and supply figure for each keyword with one click for whole of your list.

Step 2- Onpage Search Engine Optimization:

Again my suggestion is do this before even thinking to promote or launch your website.

What is Onpage Search Engine Optimization, and how to do this?Onpage SEO means optimizing your own website’s pages for search engines with related keywords and phrases.

There are certain areas of your webpages which can be optimized for this purpose. Following are some areas you should consider:

FileName of the Webpage: Your webpage file name should contain main keyword or phrase. For instance yourdomain.com/main-keyword.html is far better than yourdomain.com/our-salesletter.html

Title Of the Page: Title of your webpage must contain the main keyword or phrase. Make your title short but concise full of your main keyword and phrases.

Meta Tags: Now a days people are just leaving this area of optimization, as they are educated that Google do not consider it. They are correct but i have seen from my own testing and results that Meta Tags Still Works. At least add Description Meta Tag and Keywords Meta Tag.

Main Headline [h1]: Main headline of your page, should be in H1 html tag, and it must contain main keyword or phrase.

Main keyword in First paragraph and in last paragraph. Also Bold, Underline and use other headlines like h2, h3 and h4 to highlight your main keywords in the page.

Step 3- Promotion Starts Now – Submit it:

Upto now we were just doing homework. In summary we have done keyword selection and then incorporation of those keywords in the webpages.

Now you should launch your website promotion in the websphere. There are two main Things you can do right now.

Directory Submission

Search Engine Submission

While submitting to the directories do not forget to incorporate right ANCHOR Text in your links. What is Anchor text?

Here are some definitions:

Anchor text is the visible text in a hyperlink. Anchor text gets a lot of weight in search engine algorithms because the linked text is usually relevant to the landing page. The objective of search engines is to provide highly relevant search results; this is where anchor text helps as the tendency is, more often than not, to hyperlink words relevant to the landing page. [Wikipedia]

The text that shows up on the link, example (in code) <a href=”http://www.YourDomain.com”> You Main Keyword Here </a> and, Your Main Keyword Here is Anchor Text.

So it is better to have Main Keyword As Anchor Text rather than CLICK HERE as Anchor Text.

Directory Submission:

Everyone in online world accepts the importance of site submission to directories. So you do it manually or outsource it from a professional service with little cost. I recommend Warrior Marketing Solutions [I admit, i am the partner of this service. So use it or not, its your choice, you can search for other services too ;-)]

Search Engine Submission:

There are two school of thoughts lol! I mean one school of thought says let the Search Engines come and index themselves. This is current trend, and of course it does work when you have got many links coming to your site. So SE bots can find your site via those links.

Other school of thought says, submit your site to all SEs for maximum results. From my own testing and results, i recommend this method. I know this does not work with major players. But what about hundreds of small Search engines. If we submit to all of those, we can get maximum results. There are almost 114 Search Engines, to which last time my site was submitted by my own already mentioned service WarMarks.com

Step 4- Get Related Links to Your Site (Ongoing promotion):

If done right this step is very crucial and beneficial for real results in term of traffic, and sales.

You can start getting related links, by exchanging links to other related sites. It is also called Reciprocal Link Exchange i.e. They put your link on their site and you do the same for their link on your site.

There are other ethical ways also to get one way links to your website. Like writing articles and submitting to article directories with linkback to your site in sig of that article.

You can also post in related forums and get linkbacks to your site via sig in the posts. Another way is commenting to the related blogs. Do not spam or abuse these methods. You know integrity is also one crucial success factor in your business 🙂

For now it is enough! But this is fact WORDS without ACTION are DEAD. So take Massive Action to implement anything you have learned which can benefit your business.

PS. There is another tool with the same functionalities called w.blogger. Both are free to use. Both are windows based desktop softwares to assist you in blogging. I have tried both, but BlogDesk was easy to setup and easy to bring into working conditions, whereas w.blogger was a bit technical setup. So my good experience and recommendation is BlogDesk.

It is really great tool with full customization and support. You can add Search Buttons of your choice. Like I recently have installed Overture Suggestion Keyword Tool Search Button. Now after writing main keyword in main search box of the toolbar, just click the OTK button and wow, it is fetching results from Overture.

Another feature I liked much is the capability to transfer any opened page to gmail a/c, or blogger a/c. Amazingly you can bookmark a webpage and can access your bookmarks from anywhere, i mean from any computer!

If you not already updated your toolbar i suggest you do this now. It is real time saver when online.

Domain Name Registration is a bit easy but it is not the same case when we try to Transfer a domain name from one Registrar to another Registrar. I have recently decided to transfer some of my domain names to another Registrar.

Maybe you ask why someone will transfer a domain name to another Registrar. Well you are right, i used to think same in the past. As i have never any problem with current domain name registrar. Well some possible issues can be customer service, add on services, cost and contract between customer and the company, companyâ€™s policy regarding spam policy and much more like that.

You know, most famous and first registrar for new comers is GoDaddy.com. Yes it is fact. The domain names i am going to transfer are currently managed by Godaddy as a domain Registrar. And the big reason to transfer the domain name from them is THEIR SPAM POLICY and DOMAIN OWNERSHIP policy after a spam complain is received. What they do is suspend the domain name and may take charge of your domain name, if they receive spam complains about that domain name. Then you can never transfer or take charge again of that domain name. Yes it is the case.

To avoid this possible disaster, i have decided to transfer domain names from Godaddy to NameCheap.com , as so far this is the best registrar in the opinion of many friends of mine in IM.

Well to domain name transfer process is simple. Go to the new domain name Registrar and follow the instructions. During the process you need, EPP Authorization Key or Registrar Authorization Code, even one of my current registrar (other than godaddy.com) used the word there called DOMAIN SECRET instead of EPP. But it is same thing with different names.
EPP, Domain Secret, or Regauthorization code whatever they call it,can be found in your current domain name control panel or you can ask the current domain name registrar directly about this code.

Well A friend of mine borrowed my USB drive some days ago to transfer college assignment sheets to his computer. Apparently it was done without any problem at any side.

Another fact was that my Anti-Virus was not updated (why i do not know!), that is gate was opened already to let the viruses into computer. So when i got back the USB drive with no data from my friend in it but a folder with name NEW FOLDER. When i clicked the folder, folder was empty but clicking that folder took me to My Document Folder. This was the sign of the virus, i have already faced in the past.

Next logical step was to update the Anti-Virus and Scan the whole computer to kill the nasty viruses. But it was not going to happen easily. To make the long story short, i managed to Restore my computer to the earlier stage. And then updated the Anti Virus and scanned the computer, found many viruses and DELETED all.

But problem was still there, i could not find the many important folders in my computer, little investigation proved that folders are set to Hidden Folders, and to select the option to show the Hidden Files from Tool Menu was not available.

Yes Folder Option in Tool Menu, and in Control Panel was not showing! Shhh, my Anti Virus, Firewall, Spyware and all other security guards were not able to locate the problem or fix it. Then at last one of my Techie friend came to my computer room and solved the whole issue, yeah in a minute and free of cost 🙂

Here is how he did this. From Start Menu click RUN, and then write this gpedit.msc and click OK! Next click User Configuration and then Administrative Templates then Windows Component then Windows Explorer. Now the third option is there – Remove the Folder Option menu item from Tools Menu. Right Click this option and click Properties and then DISABLE this. Wow it is done! let me write the whole runway in simple style 🙂

Yes this is fact what i have written in the subject line.

SmartFtp was suggested by a friend of mine as a good ftp client online. I tried it a lot. it worked fine for me in many situations but failed at many other tasks. It was impossible for me to upload a big script to my server using this crap client. It never completed the upload. So i started to research for other ftp client which can upload big files, many files at a time at maximum speed.

Till now, i have tried many other ftp clients, but for now FTP Commander is working best. [Note: as per above update i recommend Filezilla!] Yeah it is FREEWARE, it is speedy uploader, and it is able to upload big folder with so many files without any problem. Thats it. Maybe it help you in difficult situation!
